21st Birthday Games for a Fun Party

There are many different moods and levels of formality to celebrate a 21st birthday so it's important that the 21st Birthday Party Games be appropriate. This birthday can be anything from black tie to backyard barbeque so choose the right games and activities that best suit your vibrant young adults.

The guests at a 21st birthday party are at the peak of their athletic abilities so if weather and local zoning permit challenging games can be planned for this party. Those who have access to specialized fields will want to utilize those for softball, beach volleyball or even riding and racing. For most people though the space is limited to the backyard and imagination and energy are more readily available than stables and riding habits.

A couple of fun and rowdy possibilities include Crab Football and Backyard Hoops. The trick here is to make up rules loosely based enough to include all who wish to participate. Everybody is familiar enough with basketball to loosely organize a quick game on the driveway. Make rules that keep the competition at your 21st birthday from getting too serious and so windows and barbeque grills stay in tact.

Crab Football is something like soccer, played with the largest and strongest beach ball available. The difference is that the players move around on their hands and feet with their torsos facing up giving them a crablike appearance. Sounds simple enough but it's actually pretty fatiguing to move around that way for long even for young and spry 21st birthday guests. But that is the reason that a small yard is big enough for this game. Take liberties with soccer rules to keep this game more fun than serious and all will be better. Make sure the yard is carefully groomed to prevent hand injuries.

Stock plenty of cold refreshments as these big 21st birthday games will definitely create thirsty amateur athletes!
